IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, ALoNzo W. PORTER and J. HAMILTON BROWN, both of NewYork city, have invented Burners, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had totheaccompanyingdrawings which make part of this specification, and

in which Figure 1 is a view in elevation o f our improved burner; andFigure 2 a vertical section through the same, at the line a: a; offig. 1. A I In vapor-burners using heavy oils much diificulty hasheretofore arisen from the clogging or guinming of the burners by theresiduum deposited by the oil, and owing to the construction of theburners used it is very vention to remedy this defect, and to this endour inven difficult to clean them. Now itis the object of our in tionconsists in a novel method of constructing a vapor-burner so that it canbe readily taken to pieces to clean it.

In the accompanying drawings, which shows one way of carrying out ourinvention, B represents the supply pipe leading into a retort orgenerator, A, containing a central pipe or collar, 0, through which thestem D of a regulating valve, M, works to regulate the flow of gasthrough the jet d. The retort is open at top, and has a sloping edge, 6,ground to receive a correspondingly groundplug or cover, E, to which theheater-cap F is connected by conductors G. Supplementary conductors Hare arranged on the under side ofthe plug so as to surround the collar.0, and thus give additional generating. surface. The ground surfacesmake a gas-tight bind the two parts firmly together, I employ a yoke, I,having hooks i on its ends to catchiin lugs s the generator, and has asleeve-screw, J, passing through it. The M011 latter'bears against thebottom of the retort when screwed B E of the burner firmly togetherand-prevents any escape of s seat so as to release the pins i from thehooks i,

when the plug-heater cap and conductors can quickly be removed tocleanse the burner, and as readily replaced. The yoke also serves as anadditional conductor of heat. The yoke should be connected to the retortby guides b which will allow it a slight vertical play, and the yokeshould also have a slight horizontal movement around the retort tofacilitate the separation of the parts. The yoke might also be soarranged as to work in a groove cast in the retort.

\Vhat we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is- 1. Mounting the heater-cap and conductors on a'plug having a groundedge fitting into a corresponding ground surface on the top of theretort, substantially in the manner described, for the purpose ofrcadilyseparating the heater-cap from the retort to cleanse the latter.

2. The combination, substantially in the manner described, of a lodetachable plug supporting the cenductors for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination of the retort, the central pipe, and the valve-stemwith the sleeve-screw and yoke, for

joint, but to or pins 2" on the plug. This yoke embrace valve-stem 1)works through the sleeve-screw, w in, as shown in fig. 2, and binds thetwo parts gas. By releasing the screw, the plug E can be turned in itcking-yokc, embracing the retort with a the purpose specified.

4. A yoke which embraces the ret heat-conductor.

In testimony whereof ort, and serves both to lock the parts together andas an additional we have hereunto subscribed our-names.
